That is exactly the look I'm going for with the helmets.
Helmet: metallic blue w/ orange oversize S
Jersey: orange w/ blue font, white trim
Pant: blue w/ orange and white trim
Maybe they learned from the blue basketball jersey jinx and want to make sure that the debut is associated with a win. If it's a hit, they can wear them again for Clemson.I think this is another missed opportunity why against Wagner?? Should have saved all the new gear for the Clemson game. It would have been a bigger stage nationally and we have a ton of major recruits coming in for that game. Would have created some more hype.
I've got to think that if they consulted the players and this coaching staff, there's no way the jerseys will look anything like those atrocities.I would love the Orange Jersey as long as it doesn't look like the last Orange jerseys that looked like practice pinney's like the Gerg years.
I agree with Alsacs, I think it is time for white pants as well as a blue pants option.
I like the chrome blue helmet that has been floating around as the fan replica. Just keep Otto off that, and add the block S and were on to something. We are Orange and Blue after all. Not Orange, Grey, and Navy Blue
Give me an Orange jersey and white/grey/platinum pants and I will about the rest. BTW to the graphic designer on this board who said that Nike must have showed Gross some stuff and he didn't go with it I guess that isn't true.
FINALLY.
I know all you purist old fogies want to keep the tradition, but tradition unless you are PSU, Bama, or Mich. Kids get psyched for the apparal swag. Lets get a manican with the new unis, next to a scale model of the IPF, in Manley ASAP, and include that in recruiting visits.
I dont want something arena football leaguish, but i do want something new. Gray/Platinum pants would be sick (think Tampa Bucs)
We are as important as Penn state, Michigan, and Alabama
It's not about being as important, it's about the instant team recognition those programs have with their unis... We just do not have that. There are a lot of orange and blue clad teams across the country, we could easily be mistaken for Illinois, Virginia, etc...We are as important as Penn state, Michigan, and Alabama
Why is it that you think tradition is important at these schools but not SU?
